In the Baptist backwoods of the Bible Belt, the beleaguered Turpin family proves that living and dying
in the South are seldom tidy and always hilarious, even during their earnest efforts to pull themselves
together for their father's funeral. Amidst the chaos, the Turpins turn for comfort to their friends and
neighbors. The whole family of misfits manages to pull together and help each other in this drop dead
funny and quirky look at a southern family funeral.
A Pulitzer Prize-winning play of an eccentric New York family in crisis in the summer of 1942. On the run
from a loan shark, a frightened and weak-willed father leaves his two teenage boys, Jay and Arty, with
their domineering grandmother, who runs a candy store in Yonkers. The effect of the old woman's
tyranny over two generations of offspring becomes evident as she coldheartedly attempts to control not
only their lives but also that of her mentally challenged middle-aged daughter, Bella, who desperately
yearns for love and independence. The boys are forced to live by their stern grandmother's rules until
their gangster uncle, Louie, comes to town one night and goes into hiding in the family home. Uncle
Louie ends up helping both the boys and Bella understand their aging grandmother and realize the
importance of acceptance and love, despite the hardship of life in Yonkers.
Diary of Anne Frank was a dramatization of the book Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, the
personal account of a teenage Jewish girl in hiding with her family in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam. The
diary, first published in the U.S. in 1952 and considered one of the most single important documents
of World War II, has been translated into 55 languages and has captured the hearts of readers all over
the world.
A hilarious portrait of the goings-on in the dusty one-horse town of Maynard, Texas. In Laundry and
Bourbon Elizabeth and Hattie sit on the porch folding laundry, sipping drinks and gossiping. They’re
soon joined by the self-righteous Amy Lee, who can’t resist blurting out a bombshell: Elizabeth’s
husband, Roy, has been seen around town with another woman. In “LONE STAR” we meet Roy,
who’s back from Vietnam and anxious to begin his life again. As he drunkenly recounts his military
exploits, his younger brother Ray confesses a shocking secret that makes Roy question his entire life.
A spine tingling and nail biting thriller by Ira Levin which encompasses many plot twists and is
essentially a play within a play. It is a play in two acts with one set and five characters. It holds the
record for the longest running comedy-thriller on Broadway and was also nominated for the Tony
Award for Best Play. This is one not to be missed!

The Full Monty
A musical with a book by
Terrence McNally and score by
David Yazbek
In this Americanized musical stage version adapted from the 1997 British film of the same name, six
unemployed Buffalo steelworkers, low on both cash and prospects, decide to present a strip act at a
local club after seeing their wives' enthusiasm for a touring company of Chippendales. One of them,
Jerry, declares that their show will be better than the Chippendales dancers because they'll go "the full
monty" — strip all the way. As they prepare for the show, working through their fears, selfconsciousness, and anxieties, they overcome their inner demons and find strength in their camaraderie.
